Synopsis

After one’s community has experienced an earthquake, a wildfire, a tsunami, a hurricane, a tornado outbreak, or any other natural environmental disaster, there are differences and challenges to preaching that were not present the Sunday before. This book orients preachers to those differences and challenges. It contains accessible research from natural disaster experts to give an understanding of how individuals and communities are impacted by a natural disaster. Basic biblical building blocks are provided for developing one’s own scriptural view of the event and all that follows a disaster. It is filled with coaching from pastors that have already preached in the aftermath of a natural environmental disaster, making this a very practical resource.

About this title

About the Author

Jeff loves traveling and hiking in the mountains with His wife; having deep philosophical and theological conversations with his adult sons and daughter-in-law; holding his granddaughter; reading a good book; drinking coffee - real coffee that is black, unsweetened, and unflavored; watching LSU football; making a fool of himself playing disc golf with much younger people, and regular trips to the gym.

He thinks God called him into ministry just to keep him saved because he has to pray and read the Bible so much just to be mediocre.

Somehow along the way, he has earned three degrees; one of which lets him sign his name as Dr. Jeff Stanfill.
